Your site looks good. I noticed it uses frames. Search engines have a tough time with frames. That is the only problem that I see.

the design looks nice... do you know flash? Flash websites are rather popular b/c you can get the style of having frames w/o actually using frames.

I like it. Very Creative! Is this for a class project or something?

I'd stear clear of flash just as I would frames, but that's just my opinion. CSS (cascading style sheets) are a ton easier and accomplish the same thing (and more).
Sweet graphics though...are they originals?

Everything is original except the little clip art i put in the about me section at the bottom... the handhsake and the dictionary clip. (i was lazy and needed to fill space for contents sake) other than that everything is original design wise. I have to thank phong.com in the past though for contributing some of the skills i used there (like the sphere on the right)
yeah i realize CSS is awesome ... but for the class i needed frames... so i figured why not design a whole website in photoshop, cut up the images and put them in frames.
Thanks guys. Appreciate the feedback... anyone not like the design? personally i loved it at first but now i feel as if it may be too....PLAIN? as in lacking some color

I'm more of an old school hand-coder myself. Flash and CSS have only been supported for the last several years, but frames have been around since the early-90's. If you're thinking in terms of business, try to think in terms of your target audience's capabilities in addition to the content and design implementation details.
There are still very simple things that I do in CSS that just simply break on pre 5.0 versions of IE and Netscape, and we won't even mention the 3.0 browsers (though IE 3.0 did have some partial support, as I remember using basic stylesheets back on Win 95).
When it comes to CSS, flash, and DHTML, I try to integrate them all into my sites in small doses, and only when their functionality would make some impossible or more greusomely difficult HTML task more easily accomplishable or even possible to begin with. CSS is wonderful, but it's not yet a standard  Flash is wonderful, but you limit your target audience (especially with download times).
Frames are wonderful, too, but there a thousand reasons not to use them and a thousand ways to get around using them. There are very few professional sites nowadays I design that use frames, and if they do use frames they tend to be inline frames (iframes) and even then only for reasons of UI.
Good design on that page. Good luck!
